Long time cruncher here. Woke up this morning to find a core 11 unit had been picked up but my GPU usage was at 0% and work unit progress was 0% and had been like this for around an hour and a half with no progress.

I tried deleting the work folder so a new unit would be picked up; this was core 11 again and it exhibited the exact same behaviour. I tried deleting the core executable; upon resuming the work unit and redownloading the core, it was still the same. When I try to pause computation, the FahCore_11.exe process does not end unless I choose to do so forcibly from the task manager.

I usually pick up core 15 work units and it works flawlessly.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2012 9:41 am**

Because some servers were down I suspect Fermi cards were being assigned non-Fermi work units. This should never happen!

The servers are back up so deleting the work folder should work now.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:40 am**

Thanks for the heads up guys, I was stuck as well but hadn't realized it yet..

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2012 11:44 am**

I have just had problems with these units completely stalling in the same way on 3 different GPUs on 2 different PCs. The logs aren't very informative - just nothing for two hours. I've had to dump them.

They were units running core 11, so thanks for the information - very reassuring!

How can a Fermi card get assigned a GPU2 WU? And how do I get rid of it?

At the time that Core15 and core16 were being developed, the Fermi platform was able to process WUs from Core11, though there was an assignment preference for core 15/16 so not many folks got WUs for 11. I'm not sure what changed except that there's a lot going on with servers right now and if there's nothing in the GPU3 category, the AS either has to assign you something from the GPU2 category or tell you it can't assign you any work.

It's Monday morning and there are likely several folks at Stanford that are trying to fix downed servers and check on WU availability. Give it a few more hours and things will probably be back to normal availability. I notice that VSP12 was down again last night but some things were corrected at about 1:00 AM Stanford time. Other issues still remain, though.

Bruce-Thanks!

(too much partying over Stanford beating Oregon?

)

Added the log file. Hope it helps.

Deleted WU and then got:

"Work server too old for dump report"

Yeah, just tried to pick up a new work unit and it was for core 15 this time.

Hopefully someone will get around to looking at the non-Fermi work units being assigned to Fermi cards so that this kind of downtime can be avoided in future

Thanks.

I've got a Windows 7 PC with 4 GTS 450 that's been folding 24/7 for the past 7 weeks without a hiccup.

All of a sudden I get two WU's
5768 (2, 234, 1056)
5772 (9, 121, 8)
that are not being processed:
Progress 0.00%
ETA: Unkown
Base Credit Unkown
Esitmated Credit Unkown
Estimated PPD Unkown
Estimated TPF Unknown

GPU-Z says the cards have 0 GPU load.

How do I purge these WU's and let it get some fresh ones?

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:23 pm**

I've been getting the same thing on numerous of my computers. 5765 (8, 109, 1901) is not running on this particular computer. On three other computers I resorted to uninstalling the whole folding program, including DATA files, and reinstalling the program. Unfortunately, that's only a temporary fix because as soon as problem WU comes up again, they will die. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the entire 57xx series of WUs.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2012 11:13 pm**

There are a couple other topics covering this problem, see viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23033. At one time core 11 WU's would process on Fermi cards, now many don't. To remove these from your work queue, delete the work folder corresponding to the WU after pausing F@H. When you restart your client should pick up a new WU now that the servers are back up.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:59 am**

@ Joe_H:

So I guess my question should have been:

In a stock F@H home installation on Windows 7, where is the work folder so I can delete it?
